Germany’s national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will be out until early next year with a hairline fracture in his left foot. The news has shocked national head coach Joachim Löw, goalkeeping coach Andreas Köpke and first team coach Oliver Bierhoff.
Joachim Löw: “I’m really upset about Manuel – it’s a massive set-back for him. Manuel has the character, self-discipline and willpower – he’ll do his utmost to come back just as strong as he was. He’s in the best hands – he knows that he’ll get all the support he needs, just like at FC Bayern.”
Andreas Köpke: “You could see how motivated Manu was to get back into his rhythm after his injury lay-off. It’s a bitter pill to swallow for him but we’re wishing him all the best. I’m certain he’ll come back to FC Bayern and the national team just as strong after he’s recovered.”
Oliver Bierhoff: “All of us in the Germany team wish our captain a peaceful recovery. He should take all the time he needs, it’s not worth rushing a comeback.”
